Chelsea 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur (4-2 on penalties): 5 talking points & tactical analysis | Carabao Cup 2018-19

#4 Fernando Llorente scores, but Chelsea continue to dominate

Llorente headed home in the 50th minute

Chelsea got us underway in the second half, and pressed for a third goal, which would have most probably put the result beyond doubt. But just five minutes past the break, Fernando Llorente finished a brilliant move by heading in a fantastic cross from Danny Rose.

Harry Winks, who was supposed to be the engine of the side, played Rose through down the left, and owing to his explosive nature in the final third, whipped in a teasing ball to Llorente - the only substantial target in the Chelsea territory.

The former Swansea striker was being marked by Emerson and Antonio Rudiger, and to be fair, the cross wasn't even one where he had to leap. Despite all these circumstances, the veteran forward planted a sublime header past Arrizabalaga.

Although Chelsea should have scored a couple more at least, the North Londoners did make life uncomfortable for the hosts. For instance, just a minute after Llorente's goal, the omnipresent Kante drove forward with purpose and teed up Giroud, who hit the target but saw his shot saved.
